Since we launched NJ Literacy Association's K-3 Storytime just about two weeks ago, over 1,400 students in New Jersey have engaged in interactive stories read aloud with intention and joy.
We've enjoyed hearing your stories, sending some prizes in the mail, and helping you during these times of uncertainty and stressful remote learning. Each of our read aloud books is a call to action for kids and their families in NJ.
Visit our YouTube Read Aloud page daily and email us at [email protected] to share your activities. We have more prizes to send, and more shoutouts to give! Watch our videos to see if your city was recognized! If not, there's still time!

Join the ART YARD CREATE community, see lessons, create, and post to our community series along with with other students and the Artists from ART YARD BKLYN that have been working with our J. W. Wakeman family of students for many years in our school.

This week is a great time to see three bright planets—Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn—in the morning sky. Join us today at 1:00 PM Liberty Science Center shrinks the largest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere to your screen for a spirited half-hour tour of the morning planets. Along the way, you’ll visit the two largest moons in the solar system, Ganymede and Titan, visit volcanoes and a canyon on Mars, and fly through the rings of Saturn. Video for this presentation was created on an Evans & Sutherland Digistar 6 system.
Please join us for the "Facebook Live broadcast."
